Exploring The World In My Class

The future of the world is in my classroom today. Let’s say ‘YES’ to everything. But saying ‘Yes’ to everything has now become the simplest path and the easiest way to grow up. It acquires a lot of research and trust. With every adventure and every place we go, we get every new experience and opportunity to gain something. For us, learning has become very active. It’s interesting because as we love to travel, we overcome fear, it increases trust in ourselves, and how to negotiate a lot of things at a new place. We are actually discovering new interests. Creative thinking is distinct from creativity. Creative thinking develops our capacity for imaginative activity, leading to outcomes that are judged by appropriate observers to be original and of value. 

As being a fine arts teacher, I explore a lot in my classroom. Before going to my classroom I look at the type of materials that I will need, and I plan the activities accordingly. I like to do my best and I prefer to think about things a little before I finalize them. We also do Skype sessions through which we have lot of things to explore about the outside world. We meet people and students from all over the globe, and was truly inspired by their stories, potential and determination to bring about change and make the world a better place. Meeting these teachers, professors and students from other schools made my desire and urge for success grows stronger. Exploring the world diligently increases my student’s confidence and give them access to more opportunities.''

I have learnt many new strategies of teaching just by my experience of t

aking classes from last sweet 16 years. Lots of training have been an invaluable part of my professional and personal growth as a teacher. I would recommend every teacher to grasp every opportunity for further study or learning and try their best to learn as much as possible. Every experience counts, gives a teacher an opportunity to explore more and more. While interacting with students, working with them in group activities gives us opportunities to explore more ideas, think more about gaining knowledge.

Innovation through creativity is an important factor in the success and competitive advantage of organizations as well as for a strong economy. Interest is growing in the influence of transformational leadership on creativity and innovation. Creativity appears to be an important component of problem-solving and other cognitive abilities, healthy social and emotional well-being, and scholastic and adult success. When we do Skype sessions, we get to know about culture of different countries practically which we have learnt only in books. Yet the study of creativity is not nearly as robust as one would expect, due in part to the preponderance of myths and stereotypes about creativity that collectively strangles most research efforts in this area.

These explorations are especially promising in the use of creativity to help students become better interpersonal and intrapersonal problem solvers, although suggestions also range from the use of humor to diffuse potentially violent situations to learning more effective conflict resolution strategies. Creativity research and application may also have positive implications for educational psychology as a whole. For example, creativity may serve as a foundation for understanding and applying constructivism to learning and treatment.

These are but a few of the areas in which creativity is being applied, but they provide a sense of the extraordinary breadth of applications that educational psychologists may pursue. There appears to be no shortage of areas in which creativity can be applied constructively to improve people’s lives—and, more important, areas in which people can use creativity to improve their own lives. Advocates of the creative-person approach seek to identify the general and specific abilities, motives, and traits that result in a person who produces creative products. It is certain that eventually the neurobiology of creativity will be explored. 

When students are given an opportunity to choose their own activities and work with autonomy, they engage more with the task. Students who sensed more teacher support for autonomy felt more competent and less anxious, reported more interest and enjoyment in their work, and produced higher-quality work in their class than students who didn’t believe they had as much autonomy. Thus, we can conclude that they explore more than others. There are all kinds of ways technology opens doors for students. While I teach my students about artists like Vincent Van Gogh, I never forget to show them on screen 360 cities. It shows lots of 360 degree view of its museum as well as paintings. It's just one of the myriad ways virtual reality is advancing learning. 

Another app which I commonly use is 4D Anatomy which allows students to explore human anatomy. We also recommend students to use Quiver which brings coloring to life with augmented reality content in biology, geometry and the solar system. Students and teachers can create a blended-learning environment that allows creators to combine 3D with PowerPoint, notes, sound effects and more. With Google Expeditions kits you’ll have everything you need to take students on a virtual field trip anywhere, from an underwater coral reef to Machu Picchu. I give projects to my students to learn from u-tube videos and make 3D models, artworks and projects. They also learn different technical aspects of using a single media of colour thus giving them experimental opportunities to learn.

Exploring in classroom connects classrooms around the world with explorers, bringing science,

exploration, and conservation to life through live video events. Students have the opportunity to go around the world in classroom. The benefits include increased engagement and shared experience among students. It is also important that students have opportunities to learn from one another’s varied experiences and perspectives. To create this learning environment, teachers need to skillfully draw on student experiences to enrich the curriculum. It is so important for me as a teacher to create a safe classroom culture where students can explore, discuss and more importantly, express their identity. One of the important benefits from being able to discuss one’s identity is for students to feel confident in who they are as individuals.

At the same time, identity exploration in the classroom can help students to also develop an appreciation for diversity in their communities and ultimately be more empathetic for others. I facilitate an activity in the classroom that focuses on identity expression by using prompts to get the conversation started. Exploring identity in the classroom should be practiced regularly throughout the year. I believe that technology can truly revolutionize education, but only if educators make wise choices about what is used and how it’s used.

I often ask my students to Google themselves and then think about what their digital record says about them. Rather than ban phones or YouTube, educators should find smart ways to use them. Allow your students to explore the world in extreme just by guiding them to use digital technologies in a proper way. So much learning is lost when we block resources from our students. A classroom is a great place for children to learn how to behave responsibly on the Internet. They also tweet with other classrooms around the world to share and compare what they’re learning. Let them explore around the world.
